-Make sure that the selector lever is in the P
posit ion and the ignition is switched off
when leav ing t he veh icle.
([) Note
- The high-voltage system can be damaged if
the veh icle underbody comes into contact
with the ground. Immed iately drive your ve
hicle to a n author ized repair facility and
have it inspected.
- The electric drive motor can become very hot dur ing operation . Do not stop the veh i

Special considerations for the high-voltage
battery
Appl ies to: vehicl es with plug- in hybrid drive
Please first read and note the introductory infor
mat ion and heed the
warn ings ¢ page 94.
All batteries age with use and over time. There
are things you should know about the care of the
h igh-vo ltage battery that will he lp it keep giving
you good service and reliab ility over t ime . Please
read and keep the following informat ion in m ind
while you enjoy the performance and economy of
your ve hicle .
- Be sure to charge the high-voltage battery be
fore leaving the vehicle parked and unused for a l onger period of time . Ideally the high-vol tage
batte ry sho uld have a charge leve l between
40
% and 60 % when par ked for a long t ime.
- If the batte ry charge level is below 3
%, never
park the vehicle for more than 21 days without
charg ing the high-vo ltage battery. Sho uld you
have to par k the vehicle fo r a long time, m ake
s u re that the charge leve l is sufficien t to help
prevent the battery from aging premature ly.
- Freq uent and consecutive charging of the high
vo ltage battery when the cha rge level is above
e-tron
98 % can also decrease the capacity o f the
highvo ltage battery . Make sure the charge leve l
is below 98
% when you start the charging
process.
- Should the vehicle be parked for longer than
2 days at temperatures below
-13 °F (-25 °C),
the high-voltage battery could free ze and not
be ab le to prov ide energy to the electric motor.
The battery will start working again, once it
warms up. The battery can be warmed up when
the outside temperature rises or when the vehi
cle is garaged app ropr iate ly. Th e battery w ill al
so warm up when bei ng used (sw itchi ng on the
air conditioner, the heater or by driving the ve
hicle) . Shou ld you have to park your vehicle at
very low temperatures for longer than 1 day, make sure that the h igh-vo ltage battery does
not freeze by parking the vehicle in a garage
that is heated or protected from the outside
temperature .
- The high-voltage battery can be damaged and
the capacity can be decreased when the vehicle
is parked for longer than 24 ho urs when the
ambient temperature is h igher than 118 °F
(48 °C). Always ma ke sure that the h igh-vo lt
age battery is not exposed to temperat ures
above 118 °F (48 °C) for a long time .
- Never pa rk the veh icle in areas that a re l ikely to
be flooded, s uch as beaches or rive r banks, and
never drive the vehicle in WA TER, on flooded
roads or through water that is higher than the
bottom of the vehicle body . The high -voltage
battery, along with other vehicle components,
can be damaged severe ly if the high-voltage
battery is exposed to open water especially for
a longer t ime . However, you ca n drive through
wate r o n roads under certain condi tions
~ page 74.
Failure to heed any of these requ irements can
age the battery prematurely and lead to a perma
nent decrease of the h igh-vo ltage battery's ca
pacity.
(D Tips
Always make sure that the high-voltage bat
tery is not exposed to extreme ly low and high
temperatu res as well as to water espec ia lly
fo r a longe r time. Fail ure to protec t and c are

.&_ WARNING
-
Sockets that are installed incorrectly can
cause electric shock or fire when charging the
high-voltage battery using the vehicle charg
ing connection.
- Installation and setup of the household con
nection for the Audi e-tron charging system
may only be performed by a qualified elec
trician. The qualified electrician is thereby
fully responsible for adhering to applicable
standards and regulations.
- Make sure that the selected charging con nection is suitable for drawing 16 amps .
- Make sure that the household socket is
grounded and shielded from water.
- Always check the functionality of the GFI
outlet before connecting the charging cable.
- Never use a damaged GFI outlet.
- The Audi e-tron charging system may only
be used with a properly grounded power
network. It cannot be used with non
grounded power networks (such as IT net
works).
- Please follow the safety precautions in the
assembly instructions for the Audi charging
dock* or the Audi charging clips*.
.&_ WARNING
If you are not familiar with the socket or the
electrical installation or it has not been
checked by qualified experts, never use it for

charging. Even very low charging currents can
cause serious damage and in partic ular fires if
the socket or e lectrical installation is in bad
condition . If necessary, get expert assistance
from a qual ified electrical installation spec ial
ist .
A WARNING
Incorrect handling of the connector contacts
can cause e lectric shock or fire.
- Do not touch the contacts on the veh icle
charg ing port and on the Audi e-tron cha rg
ing system .
- Do not insert any objects in the vehicle
charg ing port or i n the Audi e-t ron charging
system.
- Protect the sockets and connectors against
any moisture, water and other flu ids.
A WARNING
Using a damaged or incorrect cha rging cable
or a damaged or incorrect socket, using the
Audi e -tron charging system incorrectly or
disregarding the safety precautions could
cause short circuiting, electric shock, explo
sions, fires or burns.
- Do not use the Audi e-tron charging system
if it is damaged and/or dirty . Check the ca
ble and connector for damage and dirt be
fore using.
- The Audi e-tron charging system must only be connected to sockets that are installed
correctly and that are not damaged as well
as to electr ical installat ions that have no
faults.
- Do not use any extens ion cords, cable reels,
power str ips or (travel) adapters .
- Disconnect the Audi e-tron charging system
from the power network dur ing a thunder
storm .
- Do not modify or repair any electrical com
ponents .
- Never immerse the Audi e-tron charging
system and connectors in water .
- The Audi e-tron charg ing system must only
be cleaned when the control unit is com
pletely d isconnected from the power supply
e-tron
and from the vehicle . Use a dry towel to
clean.
- If a 110 volt household socket is used for
charging, only connect one vehicle at a time
to the same circuit . Use a different c ircuit if
an add it ional vehicle needs to be charged at
the same time. Note the maximum perm it
ted c urrent draw for the c ircuit . Contact a
qualified electrical technicia n if there is any
doubt .
A WARNING
The components in the Audi e-tron charg ing
system can trigger sparks which can ca use
f lammable or explosive fumes to ignite.
- To reduce the r isk of exp losions, espec ia lly
in garages, make sure the contro l uni t is a t
least 19 inches (50 cm) above the floor
when charging.
- Do not use the Audi e-tron charging system
in areas at risk for exp losions .
- The A udi e -tron charging system is only suit
ed for use on A udi vehicles and veh icles
within the Volkswagen Group . Using the de ·
vice on vehicles made by another manufac
turer is not authori zed.
(D Note
Make su re that you a lways use the suitable
power plug provided with the Audi e-tron
charging system for the corresponding mar ket . Contact an authori zed Aud i dealer or au
thorized Audi Service Facility for more infor mation .
(D Tips
- Only use the factory-prov ided charg ing ca
ble from Aud i or the Vo lkswagen Group to
charge your vehicle.
- For an uninterrupted charging process, we
recommend only charg ing using sockets
that are connected to a separately protect
ed circuit .
- Us ing either NEMA sockets with a current
rating of at least 30 A or industrial sockets
in accordance w ith IEC 60309 when charg
ing is recommended.
